“I cannot express how amazing Sheri is! When she initially joined our family in Monkton as a nanny for just a month during a challenging and stressful time, she not only agreed to stay longer but continuously went above and beyond to make the past year easier for all of us, especially my two sons. Despite the ups and downs of our family, Sheri has remained a loving and positive individual. She quickly formed a strong bond with our children and consistently provided them with warmth and nurturing, while also maintaining necessary structure and discipline. From the moment the boys leave school until dinnertime, Sheri is there for them, diligently assisting with their homework (which is not an easy task, given that one of our sons has a learning disability). I always rely on her to keep me informed about their lives and pass along any important messages from their teachers. Apart from these invaluable qualities, Sheri possesses an exceptional gift for organization that has been a true blessing for both the boys and me. Due to a higher-than-average number of appointments and conflicting activities, she effectively tracks and coordinates everything with ease. Furthermore, she utilizes her time productively while the boys are at school, taking on various projects for me, such as running errands and conducting research on obscure topics and potential purchases. Speaking of purchases, Sheri is a brilliant bargain-hunter and has diligently managed our budget. Her efforts on my behalf have alleviated a tremendous amount of stress and enabled me to meet deadlines that would have otherwise slipped away.”
“I would like to begin by providing some context regarding the hiring of a nanny in Monkton and our family situation. As a stay-at-home Dad, I found myself in need of returning to work due to my divorce from my wife. Additionally, I was in the process of moving to a new residence in September. Initially, our plan was to hire someone full-time for the month of August and then transition to part-time in September when the children started school. One of my sons has behavioral and emotional issues, which has made parenting quite challenging. The divorce had also taken a toll on my children's behavior, leading to a lot of anger in the household. Despite being aware of these circumstances, Sheri accepted the position and immediately began providing support. During this period of transition, Sheri brought much-needed structure to the children's lives. She effortlessly handled the daily logistics of running errands, accompanying them to doctor's appointments and picking them up from school. Constant communication was maintained through phone calls and emails, which provided me with reassurance regarding my children's safety. Sheri collaborated with an Applied Behavior Analyst (ABA) to implement a reward-based parenting technique to assist the children, seeking advice from my son's Psychologist and Therapist to better comprehend his needs. She also worked with my youngest son's Therapist in Isle La Motte to address his anger stemming from the divorce. These efforts led to the creation and implementation of an after-school program, encompassing homework completion, attendance at activities, and some leisure time. In addition to all of this, Sheri managed to keep the house clean, prepare lunches, and cook dinner. Before leaving each day, she always made sure to keep me informed about important events and review the children's homework. The positive changes in my children's behavior since Sheri's arrival have been nothing short of remarkable. My eldest son is excelling in school and displays a much calmer demeanor. Likewise, my youngest son's anger has significantly subsided, and he is behaving much better. I attribute a great deal of this progress to Sheri's unwavering love and care. Beyond her role as a nanny, Sheri also assumed the responsibility of a personal assistant, assisting my wife and me with various tasks unrelated to her job. She played a crucial role in our move to a new apartment, meeting with realtors and helping with furniture shopping and other essentials, ultimately ensuring our living space was comfortable and safe for the boys. When I faced difficulties with the landlord, Sheri took the lead in gathering information from the town and county, attending court hearings, and assisting in building my case to relocate. Throughout the year, there was a need to hire additional help for certain evenings and weekends, and Sheri took charge of placing ads, screening potential candidates, conducting interviews, and negotiating salaries. Although I allowed her to believe it was my decision, it was clear to me that she had found someone who shared her genuine love and care for the children. She effectively managed daily tasks as if she were my personal assistant, running errands, handling my daily routine, reminding me of appointments, and taking on various responsibilities, allowing me to focus on my new job. I anticipate difficulty in finding a replacement for Sheri, as she is a reliable and dependable person who can easily handle a wide range of tasks. She approaches her daily duties with grace and adaptability, always willing to adjust when necessary. Sheri actively seeks advice from others and effectively translates it into action. While she can offer sound advice, she always seeks approval before taking any action. This past year has been challenging for my family, and Sheri has undoubtedly made it easier by managing daily chores such as preparing lunches, cooking dinner, doing laundry, keeping the apartment tidy, and grocery shopping. More importantly, she has been a source of comfort, guidance, and occasional discipline for my children. She is truly extraordinary, and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a nanny in Monkton, representing ABC Nanny Source.”
“One of the most important decisions parents have to make is selecting a childcare provider who can offer a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for their children. Luckily, I was incredibly fortunate to find Sheri as a nanny in Monkton for my children. She has been an absolute blessing. In March 1997, my husband and I interviewed Sheri through a nanny agency to care for our three children. At the time, they were 6 months, 3 years, and 6 years old, and we needed someone to watch them for 3 days a week, approximately 10 hours a day. It was clear from the beginning that she would fit perfectly into our family. She immediately engaged with our three-year-old, sitting with him on her lap and reading through a book. Sheri has a remarkable ability to bring warmth, encouragement, and comfort to my children by tapping into her own inner child. She can often be found sitting on the floor with them, putting herself at their level. They thrive off the attention and fun she provides. Sheri willingly participates in childhood games like hide-and-seek, Chutes and Ladders, and card games. We even tease her about her enduring enthusiasm for playing the tenth game of Candy Land in a row, just as excited as the first game. Throughout the eight years she has been with us, Sheri has adjusted her interaction with the children as they have grown. She skillfully catered to the needs of my 6-month-old, handling various situations such as illnesses, diaper changes, and food preparation. Additionally, she provided extra patience and guidance to my child with ADHD, following a special diet that eliminated foods with preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors. Sheri would also drive him to therapy sessions when necessary. She has even played a role in my daughter's self-assurance and positive outlook during her pre-teen years, offering hairstyle advice, helping with clothing choices, and providing valuable guidance. Sheri is an extraordinary, energetic individual who genuinely adores children. The children adore her right back."peanut butter and jelly kisses"the "kissing playground" in Monkton, which is Sheri's clever way of describing the place where she gives them a kiss on each cheek. Sheri is not just a nanny; she is a pillar of reliability and dependability. Punctuality is her mantra, as she conscientiously arrives on time every single day. Her ability to think on her feet without constantly needing instructions showcases her resourcefulness and adaptability.
Sheri's role extends beyond childcare; she seamlessly tackles various household responsibilities. From laundry and dishwashing to light vacuuming and tidying, she efficiently keeps things in order. Making nutritious school lunches, grocery shopping, cooking dinners, and even baking mouthwatering desserts are all part of her repertoire. Going the extra mile is second nature to Sheri; if she notices any additional tasks that need attention, she takes it upon herself to address them. For example, while unloading groceries, she proactively cleans out the old food from the fridge and wipes down the shelves, ensuring a pristine appearance.
Sheri's dedication and involvement in the children's lives are truly commendable. During the summer, she takes them for swimming lessons, making sure they enjoy every moment while prioritizing their safety. To boost my son's confidence to dive off the diving board, Sheri fearlessly jumps into the deep end, assuring him of her presence in case he needs assistance. She actively participates in school plays and concerts, cheering on the children and celebrating their talents. Transportation to and from scouting events is a breeze with Sheri behind the wheel. Additionally, she willingly helps the children when they encounter difficulties with their homework, ensuring they understand the concepts. The playground Sheri takes them to is fondly referred to as their personal haven, where they feel loved and cherished."Sheri's Playground"Sherbert, our nanny in Monkton, has chosen the local playground as her go-to place for the children's outdoor activities. She believes it's the safest playground in town, with its open spaces that allow her to keep an eye on all the kids at once. The neighborhood mothers are consistently amazed by Sherbert's competence and passion for her work, often mentioning how fortunate I am to have her caring for my children.
During times of childhood illnesses, Sherbert goes above and beyond to help nurse the children back to health. She doesn't hesitate to take them to the doctor if needed and can always be relied upon to administer their medication. A great example of her dedication is when my son had pneumonia. Sherbert stayed by his side, ready to respond to his every need. In order to keep the children entertained and restful during their recovery, she engages them in quiet games that prevent boredom. Though our household has been fortunate in terms of health, Sherbert has proven herself capable of handling various common ailments, such as colds, flu, conjunctivitis, ear infections, stomach troubles, and even post-surgery recovery.
Besides her exceptional childcare skills, Sherbert has also been a tremendous help during our family vacations. She took charge of planning our entire trip to Orlando, Florida, providing us with a well-curated itinerary of events. Her expertise on the Disney theme parks ensured we made the most out of our vacation. Whether it was accompanying us to water parks or watching over the kids by the Vermont shore, Sherbert enabled my husband and me to enjoy some time alone without worrying about our children's safety.
In summary, Sherbert has truly been a blessing to our family. Her outstanding childcare services have provided my husband and me with countless worry-free hours. She is not only dependable, but also dynamic, creative, and fun-loving. Sherbert takes pleasure in bringing out the best in our children and finding innovative ways for them to learn. Thanks to her positive influence, our children are growing into confident and secure individuals.”
“We first encountered Sheri in December 1999 when she started as Holly's nanny in Monkton. Holly and our daughter Rachel have formed a strong bond and often enjoy sleepovers together. Sheri has primarily been responsible for taking care of the children at Holly's house, and we have complete confidence in her ability to ensure Rachel's well-being. Sheri has consistently demonstrated her reliability and accountability. Rachel holds a great affection for Sheri as she greatly appreciates her vibrant energy and passionate attitude.”
“In 1988, I was first introduced to Sheri through my full-time Nanny, who happened to be Sheri's cousin. At the time, my older daughter, Alesandra, was 2 years old, and my youngest daughter, Danielle, had just been born. Whenever my Nanny, Louise, needed time off or went on vacation, Sheri would fill in for her. This went on throughout 1989 until Louise had to leave her position permanently. That's when I decided to hire Sheri as my full-time nanny.
Sheri was truly amazing as a nanny in Monkton. She was incredibly caring, patient, and always willing to lend a helping hand. Both of my daughters looked forward to her arrival each day. Not only did she efficiently take care of all their needs, from changing diapers to feeding and playing with them, but she also assisted me with household tasks like food shopping and running light errands. I had complete trust in her, even allowing her to drive my children in her car.
Sheri became such a cherished member of our family that we even invited her to join us on vacations. We spent time together on our boat and at the beach during the summer months. However, as life progressed, my mother moved in with us permanently, and the need for a full-time nanny no longer existed. We were all saddened by Sheri's departure. She was not only an outstanding nanny but also an incredible person, and I feel grateful to have had her be a part of our lives.”
